Ideally the truppen- and hauptverbandplatz had the following medicaments available:
Anaesthesia preparation

* Dilaudid-Atropine
* Morphine
* Scopolamine

Local anaesthesia

* Novocain -Suprarenin
* Ethyl chloride

General anaesthesia

* Chloroform pro narcosi
* Ether pro narcosi
* Eukodal
* Evipan-Natrium
* Scopolamine-Eukodal-Ephetonin

Cardiovascular drugs

* Caffeine salicylate
* Cardiazol
* Dl-camphor
* Digoxin
* Lobelin
* Strophantine

The standard tablet box featured in many of the standard sets. It contained the following medicines (in tablet form):

* Atebrin (anti-malarial)
* Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin)
* Atropine
* Bismuth Subgallate (anti-emetic)
* Boric Acid (antiseptic)
* Caffeine
* Cardiazol
* Cocaine
* Codeine
* Diethylaminophenazone (anti-pyretic)
* Diethylbarbituric Acid (Barbitol)
* Digoxin
* Eukodal
* Hexamethylentetramin (urinary infection)
* Ipecac. Opiate (emetic)
* Mercury Chloride (Calomel)
* Morphine
* Opium
* Quinine (Antiseptic)
* Tannalbin (Anti-diarrhorea)
* Vaseline

I don't think the Germans were big on the use of plasma, transfusions using a Tzanck apparatus was the preferred method. Certainly looking at the contents of the Sanitätsausrüstung Satz ‘c’ issued to a hauptverbandplatz, there is no mention of any blood transfusion equipment other than the Tzanck apparatus.

I believe it was used as a topical anaesthetic in surgical procedures on the eye and nose, as well as in spinal anaesthesia. Whether it was misused as a recreational drug, I don't know.
